Quick Facts

  • Position: Cornerback
  • Team: Kansas City Chiefs
  • Draft: 2026 NFL Draft, No. 6 overall

2026 Outlook

Delane dinged his shoulder during OTAs, missed mandatory minicamp, and worked individual footwork drills on the sideline without a helmet. Andy Reid said the Chiefs are hopeful he'll be ready for training camp in late July but don't want to rush him — he still needs to make up ground lost during minicamp (per Kansas City Chiefs Injury Updates: Every injured player to monitor heading into 2026 NFL training camp in St. Joe).

Delane will start immediately for KC as CB1 after the team lost McDuffie and Watson. Analyst Steve Muench projects him as a Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, comparing his potential to Marcus Peters' impact as a rookie. Teams are expected to test the young CB early, but Muench believes he'll "stand up to the test and do very well" with the Chiefs' coaching staff and defensive scheme. (per NFL analyst calls his shot with Chiefs having a Defensive Rookie of the Year winner)
